Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 4 cups turkey or chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked, shredded turkey
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 sourdough bread loaves (for bowls)
Instructions
- Hollow out the center of each sourdough loaf, creating a bowl. Set the removed bread aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in thyme and sage. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the broth. Add the diced potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded turkey and frozen corn. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.
- Reduce heat to low. Slowly stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently until warmed through; do not boil.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Toast the hollowed-out bread bowls lightly in the oven until crisp.
- Ladle the chowder into the toasted sourdough bowls. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This chowder is a fantastic way to repurpose leftover holiday turkey.
- For extra flavor, you can rub the inside of the bread bowls with garlic before toasting.
- You can thicken the chowder further by mixing 1 tablespoon of flour with a little cold water and stirring it in before adding the cream.
